What's the reason for the shortage of the Scythe Ninja 4[?]

Hello,

I only found a couple of places that even carry them. Amazon and Newegg usually have even the newest stuff. Hasn't this cooler been around for a while? SCNJ-4000

Introduced at the end of April. Distribution has been spotty for Scythe products in the US compared to EU.

Thanks - I was wondering if I was just imagining things.

Their US availability went to hell in a handbasket a while back (1 year+) when they fired/lost their local distributor. The recovery is spotty at best. It's a shame.

I found this when trying to find a vendor with the Ninja 4. I plan to get this for my upgrade. I have a Ninja 3 Rev. B as of now, and I am satisfied, but if the article on the Ninja 4 here on SPCR holds true in terms of the performance compared to the Ninja 3, I am sure that it will be an awesome upgrade.

I'm in EU, central, can buy it in all major stores.
